Curry Barker seems to be on a roll—from indie buzz to big studio backing. 'Obsession' at TIFF sounds promising. Hope 'Anything But Ghosts' doesn't get lost in the horror reboots wave though. Focus Features usually picks quality projects.

Can we talk about how producers Jason Blum and Roy Lee are teaming up for the first time? That's a powerhouse combo for horror-thriller fans! Bryce Dallas Howard directing Mandalorian episodes shows she's got range. Looking forward to this release.

Another A24 project for Barker with 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'? That's interesting. But I'm a bit skeptical—rebooting classic horror can be hit or miss. Let's see if 'Anything But Ghosts' has original storytelling to justify the hype. Not all buzz translates to quality.

Bryce Dallas Howard in a mystery-thriller sounds promising—she had great presence in 'The Help' and 'Jurassic World'. But with plot details under wraps, it's a bit of a gamble. Hope the collaborative team (Blum, Lee, Barker) delivers something memorable. 🙏

Curry Barker is clearly the new name to watch in Hollywood—TIFF attention for 'Obsession' and now this. But I wish they'd reveal a bit about the plot; 'anything but ghosts' is a funny title, hope it's not just a gimmick. Also, Aaron Paul deserves a hit after a few duds.
